Hopefully you gained a great deal of information from your first meeting with your student!!
Now, the real fun begins!!
For the RMI you will need:
Tape Recorder (counter helps - make sure you have fresh or fully charged batteries)
Book for student - Check out Reading A to Z for ideas!
Typescript for you to write on during inventory - you may want to try marking some miscues during the taping (note that if you cannot decide on which text to use...photocopy or download your texts so that you have something to mark on - the typescript can be done later) RMI Intro Script.doc
Unaided retelling (assign points)
Retelling Guide for Aided retelling (assign points)
You will also need to begin marking miscues in your typescript.
Begin the process of using the coding form to help inform your tutoring instruction for the next session!
Coding Forms are available in the appendix (make SEVERAL COPIES) in your text or you can use this: Coding Form 25 Miscues.xls
Look for the big picture of miscues: use this to begin your first tutoring session. You will not be miscue/coding perfect this first session out - don't worry about minute details yet. This is a workshop class and we will deal with nuances in coding as we become more familiar with the process. Do the best job you are able to at this point. Use the examples in the text and on this wiki to help inform your coding. These first attempts are not going to be graded - only the final product will be handed in for a grade. There is no absolute right or wrong at this point. The only real WRONG is if you don't attempt this stuff on your own. That is the only way you are gong to get more familiar with coding!! You will do these coding forms over and over, so don't worry about marking up the first one!)
BUT - DO NOT PANIC!! Look at BIG Patterns and work from there. You will have plenty to work on with your student if you start from the most obvious.
Utilize the resources in the Reading Strategies (Goodman, Watson & Burke, 1996) to give you ideas for tutoring - just do the best you are able with the limited information you will have before you begin tutoring.
Plan as much as you are able for an hour long tutoring session!! More prepared to do during tutoring is better than less!! Make this first activity something of high interest - fun, if you will...so that you are capturing the student's attention for future sessions.
